This lesson is part of the series titled, "Renewing Image Bearers". The hope is to help young Christians grow in our connection with God, each other and the mission. In this lesson we talk briefly about how we got the Old Testament. We look at the timeline of the Old Testament. We also consider the number of manuscripts we have of the Old Testament and compare it with other ancient texts. This lesson is by no means intended to be an exhaustive deep dive into this complex topic. Hopefully this short lesson helps to understand how we got the Old Testament.
